Lennon, McCartney and Harrison all had different talents, so it's an impossible question to want an answer for.
If You want a " true " answer to that, You'll have to narrow down the question considerably....
Paul McCartney was the most talented Entertainer of them.
John Lennon had a bigger talent for being a Rock Star.
George Harrison come in on a good third place.
And Ringo's talent was mainly the drums department.
That's like asking what's your favorite food,lol! Love them all!! Whatever suits my taste at that time, they're all EXCEPTIONAL, AMAZING PEOPLE AND MUSICIANS,can't pick just one have to have them all
The Beatles are the gift that keeps on giving ❤
One of my favorites is Ringl’s “It Don’t Come Easy’ written by George.
But not a Beatles song.
@finch45lear I love that song. Have you ever heard George's demo? It would have been so cool if they would have decided to remix it into a duet with them switching off lead vocals.
I honestly never understood the Beatles/Stones rivalry, where you either liked one or the other. I loved both. They were both very different musically, but both were incredible at the time. Both bands were massive influences on my developing musical tastes throughout the 60's.
I think that the "rivalry" was a "marketing strategy", not a real rivalry.
@@rafaa151 Oh no. There really was a "rivalry". Even to this day you hear people say they were either Beatles or Stones fans.
The Beatles were the nice, fun-loving ones. While the Stones were the naughty boys.
@@midnite_rambler Didn't the press try to concoct rivalries between not only the Beatles and the Stones, but the Dave Clark Five and also the Kinks--not sure about Herman's Hermits. I don't think Freddie and the Dreamers was included.
Die Rivalität bestand eher zwischen den jeweiligen Fans.
Ich bin unheilbar an Beatlemania erkrankt, aber einige Stones Songs mag ich auch.
Die Beatles und die Stones haben sich ganz gut verstanden.
I have to say The White Album was my first record. Sargent Peppers was 2 Magical Mystery Tour 3. And I enjoy some stones, but they are not even in my top 20 of bands, And I only had 1 album I bought in my teens, and it just didn't get played.i liked The Who way more than the stones. It isnt a Beatles vs Stones at all. Just a preference in that distinct sound. It just came to mind, I hate RUSH because of that distinctive sound they have. Wonder if other Beatles over stone people feel the same about Rush.
By late 1974, Bowie was staying in New York City, where he met John Lennon during his "lost weekend" period of estrangement. Shortly after Lennon reunited with his wife Yoko Ono, the pair jammed together, leading to a one-day session at Electric Lady Studios in January 1975. There, Carlos Alomar had developed a guitar riff for Bowie's cover of "Footstompin'" by the Flares, which Bowie thought was "a waste" to give to a cover. Lennon, who was in the studio with them, came up with the hook when he started to sing "aim" over the riff, which Bowie turned into "Fame" and thereafter, according to Marc Spitz, wrote the rest of the lyrics to the song with Lennon. However, according to Doggett, Lennon made the "briefest lyrical contributions" that was "enough" to give him co-writing credit. Bowie later said that Lennon was the "energy" and the "inspiration" for "Fame", and that's why he received a co-writing credit. Lennon stated in a 1980 interview: "We took some Stevie Wonder middle eight and did it backwards, you know, and we made a record out of it!"
George Harrison had lovely hair
My school friends thought my older brother was good looking, when they saw him in the 1970s, because he looked like George Harrison.
How people can say the Beatles aren’t one of the all-timers is fucking beyond me.
They are unmatched
Agreed! Even if they don't like their music (wtf!) they have to admit they are the most influential music act of all time.
The greatest ever, period!
@@Beatlesnut1965 Well I'm a Beatles fan but Floyd are up there too. This has blown me away though. Wow.
"One of"?
Can you even ‘imagine’ what music we could of had if John wasn’t murdered.
Maybe even more unforgettable LiveAid'85 than with Queen.
I think that so much !
"It's For You" is on "Three Dog Night Captured Live at the Forum" but it sounds totally different . James Brown sampled "Fame". "Come and Get It" is on one of the Beatle Anthology collections.
Are you thinking of if not for you a Harrison song
@@georgecourtney5878 this song is called "It's For You" and is credited to Lennon and McCartney. And "If Not For You" is a Bob Dylan composition that Harrison recorded...Harrison didn't write it but I love Harrison's version more than Dylan's.
The Rolling Stones/Beatles kerfuffle was just a promotional gambit by the Stones management.
Come and Get it - Badfinger (by Paul); Step Inside Love - Cilla Black, (by Paul)
Why wasn't Ringo Starr included in the photo? The Beatles had four members, not three.
Presumably because he didn't write any songs recorded by other artists.
@@StuartQuinn Probably so, then just type Beatles instead of showing only the other three members of the band. It makes Ringo look like a meaningless, useless member of the Beatles.
Justice for Ringo
Probably because he's the ONLY surviving Beatle left. (Faul McCartney doesn't count)
five including faul.
You can hear John's voice on "Fame"
Never knew that Keith Moon recorded 'Move Over Miss L.' Only familiar with John Lennon's version. Quite remarkable that the Beatles established Apple Records not only to record their own music, but also help other less well known artists get their music out there. Do not know of any group before or since offhand who has ever done that.
Lennon made the "briefest lyrical contributions" that was "enough" to give him co-writing credit on Fame. Bowie later said that Lennon was the "energy" and the "inspiration" for "Fame", and that's why he received a co-writing credit.
I would expect that Bowie was really thrilled to have Lennon's name attached to the writing credit 4 Fame. Who wouldn't be?
Fantastic video!!!! Thank you, Adam!
Thanks for this video, very informative! Love LOVE both Lennon's and McCartney's talents, and it's so fun to learn they contributed so much to other artists' hits, that's amazing! None of the Lennon-penned tunes came as any surprise to me. But Lennon never had quite as much of a musical head on him, tune-wise, even George Martin said so. Their gifts were: Lennon lyrics - Mac melodies. I've long heard it said you can read Lennon, and you can hum McCartney - I think that's true! But that's why they made such a good team - so awesome!!!!!
12:00 Wossy is very young here.
McCartney also wrote the Phoebe Snow hit "Every Night".
Cilla was a great friend with the beatles from the cavern
Yes, and she and Ringo had known each other since they were kids
when The Beatles broke up none were even 30 yet imagine if they had stuck it out all those 70's classics done by them (band on the run,imagine,it don't come easy, give me love), the sales figures would take an already staggering total to the trillions
I love the band Badfinger! They were considered the second coming of the Beatles. On purpose.
I thought A World Without Love by Peter and Gordon would have been on here. They got it to number one but McCartney wrote it when he was 16 i think. Lennon didn't like it so he gave it away.
You'll find it at number 4.
Lennon laughed at Paul's lyric, "Please lock me away", and was not about to do a Beatles' recording of the song.
The Beatles had many facets, Lennon's music was always grittier, McCartney's sweeter. Between them & George's eastern influence & Ringo's solid drumming they often hit heights no one else has attained. Great early blues/rock, beautiful hippy era music, soothing ballads & a strong Message here & there.
Lennon had some lyrical songs also, like Here, There and Everywhere, and Imagine, And McCartney had gritty songs also, like Why Don't We Do It in the Road?, and, at least if you're talking about themes, For No One, Eleanor Rigby, She's Leaving Home, and The Long and Winding Road.
all done by session musicians
@@user-rc2xt1gt7b Did the session musicians write their songs too? I know George Martin influenced their sound later in their career.
@@fredbloggs6080 they had plenty of help fred.
Mull of Kintyre is my absolutely, hands down favorite song by anything Beatle related. I don't care much for any of their other songs, but Mull of Kintyre is gold, by Paul and after he left the Beatles. Marriage to Linda was good for him.
My favorite is always John Lennon even though he is an angel and a bastard George hit the nail on the head with that one.
But I do wonder what songs Ringo gave away if any
Let's not forget "It Don't Come Easy", which George wrote and gave to Ringo to record. Great song!
Actually they co-wrote it, as the story I've heard. I don't think Ringo would have taken full credit for the songwriting on that if he hadn't been involved at all. And also the group backing him up is Badfinger!
@@karijohartmann2649 You are right! I should have done my research first.
I can just hear the Beatles singing Bad To Me as a group. It would have been a great Beatles tune, but they were so prolific they could afford to give away some of their best songs!! 😅
John's demo of the song is out there. It's the closest you're gonna get.
There’s a low quality (soundwise) recording out there. Someone even put more instruments on it on TH-cam. It’s pretty nice
Yes, the Betles are great composer ever if it a song .I love their songs specially Paul & George 👍💯✨️👋🫰
Years ago I heard a different version of "Cat Call" which at the time went under the name "Catwalk" and had sort of a late 50's guitar arrangement reminicent of The Shadows.
Well, I guess SOME people didn't know.
4:20 I doubt very much Lennon was the main writer of "That Means a Lot" - that song is a track on the Beatles' _Anthology 2,_ sung by PAUL.
It's a Paul song. This video is riddled with errors. "Hello Little Girl", one of John's first compositions written as a teenager was written for the Fourmost? Pfft.
@@LeChaunceyeah. The thing he said about John’s fingerprints being all over the song is just more weird anti-Paul bullshit
32:55 "I Call Your Name" is not the same song as "I'll Keep You Satisfied".
John didn't write any of the music or words for "Fame". He just did that sample of the voice going down the scale.
For all the Beatleologists out there. What was the only Harrison /Starkey composition to hit the US no1 charts?
I can tell by some songs that they have a Beatles flare to them. Yes, The Beatles were that good.
This video is all over the place. It get's it wrong right off the bat, headlining It's For You as a Lennon composition. It was basically by McCartney. He demo'd it and brought it in to the studio. John was present at the studio with Cilla and George Martin and they all made arrangement suggestions but it was a McCartney song.
You've got I Call Your Name confused with I'll Keep You Satisified. You say they recorded the latter themselves after being underwhelmed by B J Kramer's version, but that was I Call Your Name, which BTW wasn't released "the album Long Tall Sally in the UK". That album was a Canadian excusive. I Call Your Name was only on an EP in the UK
That Means a Lot - with John's picture shown all the way through, grossly misleading. It's well known to be a mainly McCartney effort. "It's clear to any fan John's finger prints are all over it" ?? I don't think so.
I Wanna Be Your Man - "while many credit Paul as being the primary songwriter, the story goes that it was actually John who finalised the track", inventing a nonexistent contradiction and implying it was mainly John on his own. More BS. Whose story? According to John it was "a kind of *lick Paul had* ...I think *we* finished it off for the Stones… Mick and Keith had heard that we had an unfinished song *Paul had this bit and we needed another verse* or something. We sort of played it roughly to them and they said, ‘Yeah, OK, that’s our style.’ So *Paul and I just went off in the corner of the room and finished the song off*
Fourth of July - "never been officially credited to McCartney" You can listen to his home demo. Find it on TH-cam.
It makes me crazy that some young people don’t even know who the Beatles are or their music.
Quite a few throw-away tunes.
That song It's For You sounds really good. Fame is my friends favorite. That song sounds like the Beatles Your not Bad to Me. I got into some poison oak in the mountains. It's not a song, but it feels like mosquito bites.
Why does everyone leave Carlos Alomar out when they mention "Fame?"
He wasn’t Fame-ous.
Actually ‘That Means A Lot’ is featured on The Anthology Part 2. Paul is singing it live and it sounds very much a Paul song and he sings it with bravado in typical Paul fashion.
It’s really something.
The fact that he’s singing it suggests he wrote it.
I’m in Love and Bad To Me are so beautiful.
Like "Goodbye" and Come and Get it the best. It seems obvious to me why most of the other songs never made it to beatles albums.
They were the best.
Actually, I knew that Fame was co-written by Lennon and David Bowie, I also knew that Bad to Me was a Lennon-Mccartney. I also knew that Come and get it was written by McCartney. For Godsake it is on the Third Anthology Album
Hope teacher gives you gold star.
Did you know that Ringo co-starred with Peter Sellers in the film that featured this song?
@kwgm8578 I knew Ringo appeared in the Magic Christian yes. I even saw a brief clip of the film on a vhs tape that I once had. Didn't, however, know that Come And Get it was featured in the film. That said I've heard Macca's version on Anthology 3 and it is probably better than Bad Fingers version.
@@josephcooter5763 It was a great film for the time, although, I'm not certain that it aged well.
Having first heard the tune on a low-fi car radio, I thought Paul sang it until I saw the film and heard the recording in a theater.
Badge is iconic as a song. Talking about a girl that looks quite like you.
Yeah, this video doesn't even mention ELO, Jeffrey Lynne was considered the 5th Beatle, listen to "so serious" Ringo, and George Harrison singing back up, I know someone had to help Jeff write "shangri-la" the ending of "Mr. Blue sky is John Lennon fingerprint,
Fun stuff
By the Beatles? You mean written by them. And yes, we did know all this already.
That’s what “by” usually means for songs. Doesn’t have to also mean they recorded them
Veronica is my fave Costello song!
The Beatles, The Stones, The WHO!:)
I'm sure that everybody knows this, but "Fame '90" (released with a 1990 compilation) is what is used here. I have a strong preference for the original
from 1975.
"A world without Love"
Ich dachte schon immer, daß dieser Song sehr nach Lennon/McCartney klingt. ❤
I am a record collector and Long Tally Sally is an EP that means an extended play single, with usually two tracks on either side, not an LP or album, which a 12" record usually containing more than four tracks. Vinyl records came in several types, the single, the EP, the LP ( also referred to as an album ), the 12" single and the much rarer 33rpm single, of which I have an example, Temptation by New Order.
Brian Epstein gave George Martin a 10 inch acetate of Beatle songs to stimulate his interest. As I recall it was Hello Little Girl / Till There Was You. I bet that's worth a bob or two now! 😹
@@johnbyrnes7912 The 10" was a format that was done for jazz recordings, when records were on shellac, the material used before vinyl existed. Maybe Martin's family still own that acetate, or else it's in EMI's archives.
Then there are 78’s, that just messes with your head. Well, mine anyways. 👍🏼🇺🇸✌🏼
@@darwinxke2827 78 rpm sometimes appears on turntables, both modern retros and original old ones. I have a couple, but they are antique like all 78s and made of shellac. A neighbour abandoned them. They are jazz records. I don't play them, too fragile.
Here's something that will mess with your head...play Bruce Springsteen too fast and he sounds like Dolly Parton, and play Dolly Parton too slow and she sounds like Bruce Springsteen. 😆
That Means a Lot was on Anthology 2
Wow! i didn’t know!
Actually, We did know ......
wow, cool
according to google,anyone who had a heart was written by burt Bacharach and hal david for dionne warwick
Come and Get it later appeared on Anthology 3
background music way too loud but cool episode thanks!
Musician turned killer 😂😂😂
The title of this should be "Top Songs That Most People Know Were Written Or Co-written By At Least One Beatle or Former Beatle"
This video is misleading. These songs are not "by the Beatles" they were written by one of the Beatles. The titles suggests these songs are inspired by Beatles songs or covers that we didn't realise
It's not misleading, it's a fucking lie.
How on earth does it suggest they are songs “inspired by the Beatles”? I’m not sure what it is you find misleading. When you say a song is “by” so-and-so, I take that to mean that so-and-so wrote that song. What else could that possibly mean? In each case, the songwriter was a Beatle, ergo they were all written by Beatles. What’s the false claim there? That they weren’t written by ALL the Beatles? No, they weren’t written by MULTIPLE Beatles, but neither were the vast majority of songs the Beatles actually recorded themselves.
@@fromchomleystreet, are you incapable of seeing a difference between 1 and 4 persons? Cause it looks like. Or are you just US american and therefore unable for basic math?
The title is a little misleading, but as soon as Fame came up, I got the concept.
@@DaveMcIroyshut up and now to the beatles
I knew that each of these were WRITTEN by a Beatle
bro didn't even include ringo in the thumbnail😭
Aside from "FAME", it sounds like they took a lot of their rejects, and gave them to someone else.
Very Lennon oriented. Paul had some greats
Yes
The simple fact that you cut out Ringo's head clued me into skipping this video.
Step inside love?
Four five seconds?
You knew those ones, so they couldn't be included 😜
It’s for you was written by Paul , not John:
“I wrote it for Cilla. That’s not a bad little song. I remember when we first went over to America, plugging it to all these DJs, we used to talk to endlessly, ‘Look, there’s this girl singer in our stable and you should listen out for this song.’ It didn’t do very well. I ended up writing a few songs for Cilla, actually.
Paul McCartney
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
"Fame" and "come and get it". I just saved you 37:30 of your life
And the Playlist Man?
Incorrect title..these are songs written by the beatles members for other artists like Badfinger, ringo starr, gerry and the pacemakers, mary hopkins etc
WRONG. Bowie worked with Lennon again to record a cover of Lennon's Beatles song "Across the Universe"; Lennon played rhythm guitar on the cover.
Billy J Kramer looks like Bradley Coopers dad.
Why are you using the crappy 80s version of Fame?
Who’s that guy in the middle?
I think Far East Man written by George Harrison in bad memory and experience of the Beatles concert in the Philippines, we all know in particular George hated the Philippines, in the same token James Taylor was in the Philippines in April 8, 2024 compare the footage of the concert vis-a-viz Australia a week differential, JT love to talk before singing a song, didn't happen in Manila, he looks nervous because the 2 remaining Beatles Paul and Ringo who are still alive is a friend may have forewarned JT by the 2 ex-Beatles? HA, HA
I was understanding that Ringo wrote “I want to be your man” hmmm interesting. Dr Gus Greenfield approved.
11:01 ...Never proven
The comments that argue over who is the best this-that-or-the-other are childish and pathetic. Music is subjective, so who or what an individual thinks is 'the best' is purely a personal opinion. Some will agree with them, others won't. Just enjoy whatever genre of music, band, solo artist, etc, that you like. Why the need to prove that your choice is superior, or the need to have others agree with it? As I said, childish and, more to the point, pointless. Grow up, for Pete's sake.
For Pete Best’s sake.
Paul McCartney easily
You guys should’ve mentioned Paul’s unexpected collabs with Kanye, as his contributions were great
Weird title
I was a Beatle freak when growing up but I have to acknowledge that the Stones' version of Wanna Be Your Man is better than the Beatles version. And not just because there's no contest between Ringo and Mick, but there's a more groovy energy in the Stones arrangement.
i did
Move over Jimmy Page , Three of the most blatant rip off's by the beetles :
1. “ Revolution”: Pee Wee Crayton, “Do Unto Others”
2. “ Come Together”: Chuck Berry, “You Can't Catch Me”
3. “ I Feel Fine”: Bobby Parker, “Watch Your Step”
The Beatles most definitely did not record and release I’ll Be Satisfied. Get your facts straight.
Seriously? From Mojo? Whoever wrote this should be sent to the naughty step pronto.
Click bait title is click bait.
George was my favorite beatle but I really loved Goodbye I didn't like those were the days hopkin's debut hit. At first I thought she had no talent but I'd missed the point of Apple anyway, that was to help artists launch careers with a big boost from the Fab Four Money mill. Paul's song, its versatility, his genius for pop radio friendly tunes and innovation never serm to fail him.
First
The Beatles is the collective term for all four members, so claiming the title of the video is just misleading is just pedantry, which is sign of someone whose knowledge of English grammar is lacking. I have grade A O Level English Language, which is a higher qualification than the modern GCSES, because it was more thorough. 😁
What IS THIS???
The Beatles..three musicians and a drummer?
Lot of bad songs and some are good enough.
lot of mistakes like there was some kind of debate as to whether the Beatles were better than the stones!
Well yeah of course during most of the Beatles years together there was no competing with the Beatles. Particularly the Stones trying to copy them. Especially in 67. The Beatles were always ahead of the curve and always the most innovative at the most crucial times in our culture and pop culture with Rubber Soul, Revolver, and St Pepper's up to 67. (though my favorites are Abby Road and Let It Be).
But The Stones from 68 to 74 and pretty much every other one hit wonder from 68 to 74 surpassed the Beatles musically. And John and George and Paul knew it. Paul with being inspired by every song he heard on the radio from 68-70, George outright saying it in Get Back that everyone was surpassing them, and John verbally attacking every other artist with a record contract and a hit single, lol.
All you had to do was turn on the radio from 68 onward to know this was true. That every band that was inspired by the Beatles (which was everyone) went to places the Beatles never went to. Like the Stones with their country infused blusey rock and roll of the early 70s. Finally making their own sound. They benefited from proudly using session musicians and learning from them. Whereas the Beatles tried not to use them but also kept it secret when they did (with a few exceptions like Billy Preston which was documented on film).
I bet this doesn't have "It's for you" sung by Cilla Black. 60s McCartney genius. But I'm not going to watch this video.
It is the first one featured. Consider your bet lost.
@@jamesholden4571 Well.....I hate to be pedantic.....but......it says "Top songs You Didn't Know Were By The Beatles" ......but it's obviously COMPLETELY wrong because I DID KNOW. So... you owe me a lost bet.
Kidding. OK? Kidding! It's a great song by a great band and I'm pleased it's in there. And no....I didn't listen to any of it. Name one more and I'll tell you if I knew it or not? It's going to have "The love of the loved", that Badfinger "I can get it" song and "A world without love" but...there'll be some I don't know.
@@socialmeaslesinpartnership1252 I will have to look at it again.
The number of errors of fact in this 37-minute video is remarkable. Pick up a book or two by credentialed authors , why don't you?
Ahhh, some were witten by Hawisson! [It may be worth coming up with a wittle money - dowwers or pounds] to make the nawwating not so distwacting. I wiwwy think so
